“We hope that they learn how severely they’ve hurt our hometown business (over $7,000.00 worth in damages). We are so grateful for Atascadero Police Department’s prompt action and help on this case. We will rebuild and continue to supply our community with great deals on used vehicles,” wrote the company on their Facebook page.
